Machinima by Goosson
Cajska described the work as follows:
'Uaxuctum' is a visual re-imagining of a piece by the 20th Century Italian composer, Giacinto Scelsi.
Scelsi was a highly eccentric composer, living mostly in isolation, apart from an assistant who would write his music down. In 1966 he wrote 'Uaxuctum', a piece about "the legend of the Maya city, destroyed by themselves for religious reasons".
The re-imagining is an exploration of structure and form, light and dark... a mythical structure that will be torn down to make way for something new. With the death of each civilisation, a new one is born. The world progresses through these revolutionary upheavals, but rarely does a society chose its own destruction. 'Uaxuctum' is a moment of choice lost in time.
